Which songs really break the ice at Christmas? The Jackson 5’s Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Greg
Lake’s I Believe in Father Christmas or Jona Lewie’s Stop the Cavalry are on many lists. Do
They Know It’s Christmas? might still ring true, but has Mud’s Lonely this Christmas passed its sell-by
date? And where would we be without The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl's Fairytale of New York or the Waitresses' Christmas Wrapping?
